216 E Church Street Pensacola, FL 32502

A Rare Address in the Heart of Pensacola's Historic District.
This home sits steps from Old Christ Church and Seville Square, inside Pensacola's National Register Historic District - a location that rarely comes up for sale, since most owners on this street stay for decades. The 1885 cottage has been fully remodeled and is in mint condition, completed to the highest standards of renovation, finishes, and decor. Every detail has been thoughtfully executed, pairing authentic historic character with a level of craftsmanship and design rarely found in homes of this era. It is offered completely furnished, ready to move into or continue operating from day one.
Its setting puts you close to Palafox Street's restaurants and galleries, pickleball courts, gyms, Broadway productions, concerts, the waterfront, and Seville Square's festivals. It's an easy, walkable stretch of downtown that has become a draw for buyers relocating from larger cities, looking for that same in-town, urban energy at a fraction of the cost. Inside, the cottage lives larger than its footprint suggests, with an open living and dining layout, designer furnishings, and a private courtyard and garden that give it a quiet, residential feel just off the square. Add in private off-street parking, and the home works equally well as a full-time residence, a low-maintenance second home, or a continuation of its current life as a licensed, five-star short-term rental with a loyal base of returning guests. HC-1 zoning keeps the options open even further. The cottage can serve as a residence, an income property, a professional office, or a live-work space where you run your business from the front rooms and live just steps away. That gives a future owner flexibility that's increasingly hard to find this close to Palafox Street. To truly appreciate this address, see it from above.
